Definition of Virtue

1. Moral Excellence
2. Good or desirable qualities

Examples of virtues

1. Wisdom
2. Justice -(1-4 are the cardinal virtues)
3. Courage
4. Temperance
* Humility
* Generosity
* Kindness
* Honor
* Selflessness

I think Silver Surfer, Superman, and Captain America are the top dogs in Virtue.

Are there any other comic characters that are in the same level as these guys when it comes to virtue and moral Excellence? Now, keep in mind, I don't care about guys that come real close. Guys that are 9.9/10 stars. I mean, is there anyone EQUAL to these 3? Anyone that is 10/10 stars, like them?

High Scholar , how can you not have Superman on your list?

SnakeEyes, Freezedoom, and Whirlysplatt, how can you guys not have Silver Surfer on your lists?

Scoobless
didn't Superman kill Zod? (or at least he thought he'd killed him) that has to knock him down a point

HigH ScholaR
supes just ain't all that justice shit sure he's a boy scout but look amonug the list i post. and i'll say he's a level on drax or green lantern

to be honest just above (maybe more) adam warlock on the virtuous list howeverthough adam warlock considers his heroics as a job. IMO

BlaqChaos
Ghost Rider. wink

When it comes to virtue, Supes is not all that??

Wisdom, Justice, Courage, Temperance, Humility, Honesty, Generosity, Kindness, Honor, and Selflessness are virtuous traits.

Are you honestly going to tell me that Superman does not have that kind of personality down to perfection? What more do you want from him?

You guys reminded me of Spiderman. He's a pretty good pick. I am really tempted to put him in as my fourth guy for my own personal list.

Why hasn't anybody brought up Cyclops? I'm tempted to put him in my list along with Spidy. I can't believe nobody has mentioned Scott.

Then again, Cyclops is usually underrated in any category.

Emma Frost... shifty

olympian
Now thats the kind of virtuous gal i would go for. whistle

In a fight he tends to be pretty moral and virtuous...

Personally he's not as perfect as people would think imo...

"Moral excellence" is very relative. If someone refuses to kill a single man knowing fully that said man will kill a million people if allowed to live, then really how morally excellent are they?

Its all a matter of perspective...

you can't possibly know what someone will or wont do in the future

if someone told you that killing a baby would save fifty lives twenty years from now would you do it?

No... twenty years is a long time to change things...

Juntai
I dunno, outside of Cap and Spidey there's not a lot of virtue in Marvel characters.. there's some, sure, but a lot of the guys are surely murderers. Many of DC comics' heros are all about saving every last possible life even if it costs you your own.

I'd also have to say every incarnation of Flash to date is way up on the list.

manjaro
vash the stampede...he takes his to a riduclously corny extent

I would never kill cos then I have sunk to the level of murderer and thats right down there with Pedos and rapists as far as I am concerned. We are better than that. Killing is degrading our own character..........

Well said, Pr.

I'd still give that guy 9/10 stars. But you're right. He's no Captain America or Surfer.

Hey, Pr1983, if you don't mind me asking, what's your personal take on Spiderman? He is really virtuous. But, he is equal to Cap, Supe, and Surfer? Or is he just a notch below them?

pr1983
Sorry i never answered this... he's a notch below i'd say...

and Colossus is a very virtuous hero i agree...

Psycho Ninja
Only Superman and SS deserve this title....

Caps too fanatic...... heck he would <censored because offensive content> the star-spanggeled banner

Cyclops is always in self-denial

Spiderman is virtouos but still too young to tell !!!

Dark Urizen
Somebody needs to explain to me why SS is considered such a virtuous guy, because IMO he's really really not erm

Psycho Ninja
Yeah, ...

Ii did it so I wouldnt be called a fanboy...

Anyway, he is virtuous.... but he doesnt have a dick !!!! laughing out loud laughing Happy Dance

Avalonofthewind
My top picks:

Supes
Prof X
Captain Marvel
